Sujet: QtShortcut-Creator feedback thread (Lu 2327 fois)

I am testing it in a 32bits Ubuntu setup with Openbox. First, I must say it is a very good start for a standalone application. Then, I will list here after a list of things which seem to need improvements.

caymus, if you can find a little time for that, it would be very nice

First launch of the binary:* The "About" menu says "Linuxvilage" // you had good idea pointing to the website, however could you add a "l" ? It is "LinuxVillage"

* Then : /home/$user|Desktop/ // this does not work if the system has "Bureau" or any other name for Desktop, according to the language. Could you do something like this ?

Not write "/home/$user" because that's geeky, just something such as "Shortcut location" and in the choices, instead of "Desktop" add a field where people would write their own location choice ?

* The gui does not yet display the icon chosen, do you think this is a feature you might add ?

* This is the desktop file I produced, when choosing .local/share/applicatiions:

* The gui does not yet display the icon chosen, do you think this is a feature you might add ?this is the main challenge, but something is made, the main difficulty is to do a custom file browser with preview implemented, must take some time

Hi,

number of previous quotes is limited to "1" on the forum, maybe you would want to answer after the quote... not inside.

qtFM works well and shows mounted devices as a bookmark. It is also easy to write custom action as in Thunar. Qupzilla seems to be coping with everything I'm throwing at it - occasional hiccup with resizing flash video in Youtube, Juffed is lightning fast and has full formatting.

never know, maybe would you find pieces of code to reuse from there ?

Thanks a lot for your efforts!

PS: I just checked, lxshortcut didn't add iso code to the "Name=" and "Comment=" lines when I used it. (Recently created, lxshorcut.deskop which could not work, and previously, tint2.desktop, lxpanel.desktop, volumeicon-alsa.desktop, and even a pcmanfm-desktop.desktop which launches the desktop management feature from pcmanfm, for the OBUbuntu spins).

I have many docs & pieces of code, about all that but this is not a small job to make a custom file browser, that is why I have said that this would be the main job and it may take time. 20-60 hours ---> 20 - 30 days maybe to read docs, libs & experiment, repeat, modify, debug.maybe alot less with luck on finding about the unknown magical function & trick, who make your job a lot easier, shorter ^^

PS: Can you show me ideal .desktop as it is easy to add or remove entries, it is text.

So this time "Type" is not application anymore, but Link, and clicking on it will open a web page with the "x-www-browser" application. The icon is default set to text-html by the Firefox plugin "SaveLink" and of course I could change it to something else.

This is the easy part made in 30 minutes, but i need to know all what you need into your file & sort the different types usages and their compatible/incompatibles options, QString values can be turned on or off by switchs , but i need a good happening everywhere .desktop structure.

Wrong options into the .desktop may make it incompatible inoperative with a particular window manager.

the 2nd that you mention, mélodie is the most compatible, the 3rd I've never tried but it is also possible to make.

By cons there are many other options, but it is likely to be too specific.
